Yep, it's a safe bet :p

*downloading now*

It looks Vistaish :p

@Admodieus: I've got the same issue. I'm back on 8.1 as well. I cant use WLM with the adds etc.

[:: Lyon ::]

Can't get this installed in Vista!

[Xerxes]

Looks great :) I was wondering when they would update Windows Live Messenger to fit in better with Vista :happy:

[Unimatrix Xero]

my chatwindows have stopped flashing when they are behind another window... anyone else had this?

[temple_treefrog]

Looks good.

I wonder when the next version of Microsoft Messenger will be released.

Without Webcam nor Audio, nor handwriting, nor nudges and with insanely slow file transfers (I read that the mac version uses really old file transfer protocols or something...), it's not really valuable to me.

Don't forget that Winks should be taken out as wee. I wouldn't mind a lite version. A bit like 4.7 with audio removed and a slightly updated interface.

I believe Messenger has been discontinued. It is not included with Windows anymore as of Windows Vista.

Microsoft Messenger:mac is still very much alive.

Can't say I care for handwriting and nudges at all. Improved file transfer is a must. And yeah it's because Messenger still uses older protocols, which is supposed to change this year or early 2008 (I think).

Stop messaging me asking for download links. I don't have any.

[kampioen]

can some1 post the bunny on here??

Sorry, I was referring to Windows Messenger, my bad.

[digitalsoft]

looks nice, though why now? this should have come with vista imo.

[kampioen]

never mind.. the bunnny is on mess.be and damn it looks weird.. couldn't even make out that was a bunny for a second..

[Unimatrix Xero]

does anyone one else have the non-flashing taskbar when a message comes in?

[Gavin001]

Anyone got this running on XP 32bit yet? If so could them PM me please :)

[acies]

Yes it works fine on 32bit

[mycoolkim]

hmm looks ok i guess haha, i hope new features ^^

[Banzai]

looks just as crap as ever, can anyone recommend some really good nice looking msn clients im fed up of live messenger, I don't need anything that does multiple messengering protocols

[Guest]

Seeing as most of the changes at the moment seem to be cosmetic, couldn't someone make a patch style skin for the current version of messenger live so we get the new looks but current stability?

[Screeny]

does anyone one else have the non-flashing taskbar when a message comes in?

Yup, me.

Extremely annoying.

[threesixtyflip]

:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

Just a quick question, dont flame me everyone :p but are you running that on Vista or XP?

I cant tell the difference lol

[Smigit]

Messenger itself also got a complete overhaul, featuring a new UI

I hardly feel a new colour counts as "a new UI". Its the exact same minus some colours and boarders around display pictures.

None the less doesnt look too bad anyway.
